STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - NORTH SHORE - For everyone on this side of Staten Island fed up with speeding drivers – and other motorists who flagrantly disobey stop signs, fail to signal, cross clearly marked double lines, and fail to show regard for pedestrians – the tally of moving-violation tickets that the NYPD's 120 Precinct issued last year may come as a bit of a shock.

According to data that the Advance recently received, the precinct issued 17,428 moving-violation tickets in 2011.

Topping the list were 2,665 tickets for cell-phone use while driving, amounting to 13 percent of the total number of tickets issued for the year.
